Something New: Father Stu
Josh’s Proposal: Father Stu is a movie worth seeing, but misses the mark, because it never really answers the question why did Stu come to faith? Or more specifically, why did he become a priest?
Skye’s Proposal: Father Stu is an example of what Paul was told, when God said “My strength is made perfect in your weakness”

Skye’s Proposal: Turning Red had really admirable goals but failed to deliver on them.
Kaitlyn’s Proposal: It’s a really moving coming of age story, has a really beautiful message about family and especially Mother-Daughter relationships, but it unfortunately is caught up in an American Christian Culture war about identity and self actualization that causes us to misinterpret it.
